On the converting of the District

that it was impossible to agree,

BELL AND TIE BOAR

The Silver State in long editor
Ial, says that the people of the
State will be loath to believe the
charges made by the APPEAL, as
during Bells incumbency no init
nation was made that he did not
honestly conduct his affairs.
The APPEAL has never charged
ex-Warden Bell with dishonesty.
We do not believe that a dollars
worth Of property was ever misap-
propriated by him; we simply
charged that he made misleading
inventory to the Legislature, and
that when experts made new in
ventory they found that Bells in
yentory was incorrect by good
many thousands of dollars. This
was the only charge made by the
APPEAL, aud this charge is fully
substantiated by the inventories
now on file at the Secretary of
States office.
The Silver State continues: THE
Constitution constitutes the Gov
eraor, Secretary of State and At
torney General a Board of State
Prison Commissioners, and an Act
to provide for the government of
the State Prison gives that Board
full control of the Prison, build
ings, labor and property, and makes
it part of its duty to purchase, or
cause to be purchased, all needed
commlssarv supplies, all raw ma
terial and tools necessary for all
mauufacturing purposes carried on
at the Prison, to sell all manufac-
tured articles, and collect the money
for the same. Under this Statute.
If the Commissioners did their
duty, the duties of the Warden
were only supervisory"
This very question was brought
up in the Board during Bells In
cumoency, by Secretary of State
Dormer, who held that the
Board had control of the Prison.
Bell told the Board that
he was the boss of the place,
and that the power to run it was
given him by the Legislature. He
refused to acknowledge the author
ity of the Board. Mr.. Dormer
brought the matter up. Governor
Adams said: It's Republican
proposition; settle it among your
selves" Attorney General Daven-
port said he didn't want to see
any trouble" and so the matter
dropped, and Bell won his point.
The Silver State further says:
Those who will take the trouble to
read the laws relating to the Gov
eminent of the State Prison, will
readily understand that it is more
the fault of the Board of State
Prison Commissioners, who have
full control of the grounds, build
ings and property of the Prison,
and whose duty it is to purchase
supplies, than Of the Warden, if
the Prison is almost a wreck and
the property worthless.
We agree with the Silver State in
this, fully, but the Board is not re-
quired by law to make out the an
nual report and inventory. This is
the Warden's business and if he
does not do his duty properly the
Board has the right'ts appoint ex-
perts and make a new inventory,
which they did. The result shows
that Bell was not dishonest. simply
arbitrary, bull headed and incompe-
tent. He thought he could run the
place without the assistance of the
Board. and failed. Mccullough the
new Warden shows more sense. He
has informed the Board that he is
at its disposal and will be guided

PURSUING A PEpp1EK.
Exciting Chase After an Unlicensed and
Fleet Footed ssFakIr.D

He was one of the mild eyed, talk-you-
to-death vendors of plated gold tooth
picks and pens, and proposed to dispose
of his wares about the city without OBJ
tanning the necessary peddler's license.
His hopes were blasted, the cake is dough
swapping lies with the other inmates of
the city jail. Sheriff Sharpless and Po-
liceman Sullivan captured the man who is
against revenue first, last and all the time,
and had quite a picnic before taking HIM
into custody. The v~iolator of section 8 OF
ordinance No. 5, was first discovered at
Rhodes X Troxelrs corner, where he was
endeavoring to persuade an unoffending
citizen that it was dangerous for a person
to be about these warm days withou6 a
gold tooth pick in his possession, and
after disposing of the enamel destroyer
proceeded to the Gold Room, to which
resort he was followed by the officers.
Sharpless entered the side door, while
Sullivan guarded the front entrance. The
latter officer had just reached his post
when the game approached. Sullivan
tapped him on the shoulder and said. Il
want you, my friend" The peddler
didn't seem to recognize a friend in the
burly officer and intimated his disapproval
of being arrested by starting for the Union
Pacific yards at a breakneck pace. The
policeman started in pursuit, but was
unable to oyertake the man, who only raj
the faster after having a couple of shots
fired at him. He was finally captured in
the coal chutes, and hasn't recovered
from fright yet, firmly believing that he
had a very narrow escape from being shot
to pieces.

A DEsERrER,s CAREER.
A Private Soldiers Lively Time in and
Out of Service.

A soldier who deserted from Fort Du
Chesne, Utah, last December, accompan-
led by a guard, was a westbound passen-
ger last evening. Upon leaving the post
he appropriated d horse belonging to the
government and stole $3.50 from the room
of an officer, and has been hunted down
more on account of his thieving proclivi-
ties than for the mere act of desertion, as
the latter crime is a rather ordinary one.
According to the story of the officer in
charge of the party the soldier has trav-
eled over a great deal of territory and had
a varied and interesting experience since
leaving the service of Uncle Sam.
When first at liberty the soldier had
proceeded to Dakota, where he was en-
ployed on a ranch for several months,
but wearying of the quietness of the occu-
patton he had proceeded to Portland,
Ore, and shipped on a steamer trading
between that port and San Francisco.
After a career of three months as a Jolly
tar, he started for the East via the
opuOuSIn IOuOe, luIeLulnR " EeluTH
to his old home at Cleveland,
Ohio. In the course of his aimless
wanderings in Arizona he landed at Fort
Prescott, and being seized with an uncon-
querable desire to return to his old life
enlisted in a company stationed there.
One night he refused to obey a sergeant
in some trivial matter, and becoming in
volved in a quarrel nearly killed his SUI
perior by striking him over the head with
a six-shooter. With the guard house and
a long term at Fort Leavenworth staring
him in the face, he did what he undoubt-
edly considered the proper thing under the
circumstances-skipped, and was next
heard of at Las Vegas, N. NJ. When
captured by the officer who had trailed
him from Fort Du Chesne. the deserter
and criminal was running a saloon and
gambling house and making money. The
officer said he really pitied the fellow when
he was taken into custody, and believed
that it would be best for all concerned if
he were allowed to remain outside the
service, but that discipline must be OBJ
served and enforced.

ON THE WARPATH.
Helen Jenki s Makes it Warm for
One of Her Tenants.
A Lamp Used as an Aggressive
Weapon in a BrawI.
The Wealthy Old Settler Passes the
Night in IaiI.

Mrs. Helen Jenkins, the wealthy old
designation house keeper, who used to
figure so prominently in police circles a
year OF so ago, is once more in trouble.
This is her first outbreak for a period of
five months.
A woman named Minnie Mead, who
for the past eight months has been occu-
plying the little cottage near the south
east corner of Capitol avenue and Eigh-
teenth street, is the plaintiff. With blood
streaming down her handsome face she
stated that Mrs. Jenkins had invaded her
room and after asking for rent, which
the tenant was unable to pay for lack of
funds, proceeded to assault her after the
style ordinarily denominated rough and
tumble" Now, while Mrs. Jenkins Is a
cripple, the Mead woman is very frail
physically, and was placed at a decided
disadvantage in the encounter. Helen,
the old pioneer, doesn't believe in doing
things by halves, in fact she acts impuls-
lively and theoretically in her every under
taking, and the present instance was no
exception.
Alter pulling the hair and disiguring
the face and form of her d%iminutive con-
t%estant, she ended the round by grasping
a lighted lamp and hurting it at the head
of the object of her wrath. The missile
was effective, and DIR. Hunt sewed up a
couple of scalp wounds in Minnie Mead's
head, and bathed her bruised features
with arnica and other soothing and effect
I've lotions.
As Mrs. Jenkins marched to jail in
company with Officer Nolan her side of
the case was heard between volumes of
curses and protestations that she was a
property owner and tax payer and could
give sufficient security for her appearance
in the morning. The victor il many a
hard fought midnight brawl asserted that
the woman whom she had attacked owed
her $3.50 for rent, covering a period of
twenty-five weeks, and positively re-
fused to liquidate. That she had entered
the cottage and discovered her tenant, a
woman who glories in the name of Mrs.
Mllligan and a colored man hilariously
drunk. She didn't propose to allow such
"carryings on" in her house, and in
formed the party that they would have to
adjourn to another locality, whereupon
the trio gave battle to her simultaneously,
and in order to defend herself she struck
one of the party, she wasn't sure which
one, with the lamp.
She concluded her side of the case
with the declaration, you bet your
sweet life I'm a lady, and don't you for
get it, Mr.. Officer, and if | stay in that
jail to.night I'll make you smart of it. "
The lady occupies a room in the city
hall, however, and will remain there until
10 O'Clock this morning, at which time
the matter will come before the police
court.

STOLE SECURITIES.
The Office of H. Haas BurgIarized
Thursday Morning.
The Thieves Have No Trouble in
Robbing the Safe.
IeweIry, Notes and Deeds Taken,
but No Cash Lost.

One OF the most daring, cool and well
executed robberies ever perpetrated in
Cheyenne, occurred at an early hour yes
terday morning at the office of Herman
Haas, the implement dealer, whose estab-
lishment is on Themes street not more
than two blocks from the heart of the
city. 1t was first learned that thieves had
visited the premises upon the opening of
the house about I o'clock, when the Office
was observed to be in a disordered condi-
ton, a back window broken and a large
number of partly burned'matches lying
about the floor.
An examination of the room developed
the fact that the thief or thieves had
broken a window in the rea door of the
office, turned the night latch and thereby
effected an entrance without a great ex-
penditure of time or labor.
Once inside they quietly opened
the safe, the doors of which stood
aiar, and proceeded to rifle it of the
entire contents. This operation had evil
IDENTIFY consumed some time, as drops of
grease about the safe and floor showed
that a tallow candle had been used after
drawing the curtain. The burglars had
apparently used great caution, and prob
ably %extinguished the Light a great many
times upon the approach of footsteps.
workmanlike manner, not a paper or
other article of supposed or presumed
value remaining in the receptacle. From
the fact that not a single article was left
or the floor or about the n~eighborhood it
is concluded by persons familiar with
such matters that the intruders simply
placed the entire booty in a sack and leis-
urely decamped.
The missing articles comprise approved
notes a%ggregating between $1,000 and
5000, memoranda of contracts, deeds,
mortgages, business correspondence, ETC..
a silver watch to which was attached a
gold chain, a diamond stud and necklace,
several plain gold rings and a number of
other articles of jewelry, the property of
Mr.. and Mrs. Haas, altogether valued at
about 5000; a stencil outfit, a portion of
a box of cigars, and a miscellaneous col
lection of lead pencils, rubber bands and
other similar articles used about an office.
In short they cleaned out the place as
thoroughly as a cyclone would have per-
formed the feat.
This is the third time Mr.. Haas office
has been robbed, and he smilingly asserts
that the visits of the depredators are be-
coming somewhat wearisome. In the last
instance the burglars ruined a 5000 safe
and the blacksmith concluded to save
money in the future by allowing his safe
to remain open. The consequence of this
wise precaution is related above. The
safe is sale enough, but the contents have
disappeared. On another occasion Mr..
Haas residence was robbed of over a
thousand dollars worth of jewelry, which
was only recovered at great expense.
From the fact that P. s. Cooks safe
was burglarized Tuesday morning and
Ohnhaus' shoe store robbed the previous
night, it is naturally supposed that a gang
of thieves has invaded the city.
